Ingredients
  

  • For the Oatmeal Base:
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 2 large eggs or 2 flax eggs for vegan option
  • 1 ½ cups milk any kind — dairy or plant-based
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup or honey / mashed banana
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice or 1 tsp cinnamon + ¼ tsp nutmeg + ¼ tsp cloves
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Optional Add-Ins:
  • ¼ cup chopped nuts pecans, walnuts, or almonds
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips or raisins
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds or ground flaxseed for extra fiber

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  • Mix the Wet Ingredients:
  • In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add the Dry Ingredients:
  • Stir in oats, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and salt. Mix until everything is well combined.
  • Add Extras:
  • Fold in nuts, chocolate chips, or raisins if using.
  • Bake:
  • Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
  • Cool & Serve:
  • Allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with your favorite toppings — a dollop of Greek yogurt, drizzle of nut butter, or splash of warm milk.

Notes

  • For a Creamier Texture: Add an extra ¼ cup of milk before baking.
  • For Firmer Slices: Bake 5 minutes longer. Perfect for meal prep or grab-and-go breakfasts.
  • Vegan Option: Replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based milk.
  • Sugar-Free Option: Replace maple syrup with mashed banana or unsweetened applesauce.
  • Topping Ideas: Greek yogurt, peanut butter, pecans, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
